The best kinds of gardens are gardens that give something back—like food. Growing your own fruits and veggies can be surprisingly easy and, when that first harvest comes around, incredibly satisfying. So, thinking about planting some produce of your own? Here are a few suggestions:

Cucumbers—these veggies are incredibly versatile and can grow either on a vine or a bush.

Peppers—add a little spice to your cooking! Peppers are great for making salsa, salads, or just adding in to any main course. As long as they get some sun, they are super easy to grow.

Tomatoes—once the weather gets warm, tomato plants will explode (as long as you give them enough water). One plant can bear a huge amount of fruit for you to eat fresh or can.

Cilantro—if you have a low, wide bowl, you can grow cilantro. This herb grows quickly and can be continually planted every few weeks.
